This is my pet lobster - RED. A freshwater crayfish.
Brought it sometime last month, late August 2007.
It easy to maintain and eats it's special pellets food.
Red is still rather shy & timid, so everytime I got to move real slow when I pass the tank.
Had wanted to buy 1 more to accompany RED but I read from the net that it is best kept alone.
Two will lead to fights and eventually death as they are very territorial.
